diffusion tensor imaging

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a specialized MRI technique that maps the movement of water molecules in the brain. Since water tends to flow along nerve fibers, DTI can visualize the brain's wiring, revealing the pathways of white matter tracts. This helps doctors understand how different parts of the brain are connected, diagnose neurological conditions, and assess injuries or diseases affecting nerve pathways. DTI provides detailed, three-dimensional images of neural networks, offering valuable insights into brain structure and function without invasive procedures.
